After one of the most edge-of-your-seat voting rounds since Eurovision began (probably), Ukraine's entry Jamala went on to win the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with her politically-charged song '1944'.
The song included many powerful lyrics that focused on the Soviet persecution of Crimean Tatars at the end of World War II, and Jamala has now said that she hopes the track can "touch people".
Speaking after her win at last night's Eurovision Grand Final in Sweden (via The Guardian), Jamala said: "I was sure that if you sing, if you talk about truth... it really can touch people."
Her comments come after her grateful acceptance speech on the night, in which she wished "peace and love for everyone".
"I know that you sing a song about peace and love, but actually, I really want peace and love to everyone," she said. "Thank you, Europe – welcome to Ukraine!"
Ukraine's win came after a seriously intense voting round that saw Australia's entry Dani Im securely holding the top spot throughout the jury's votes, with a host of 12-point scores.
